I did a 'Run by the Mile' photo sequence for you. :) I'm sure you're dying to see it....lol. I may have borrowed the idea from Meg. ;)

I had to put this one in ....too bad it was only at 1.25 miles!

HOME!

There you have it.

Clearly a Starbucks was in order to run errands.
Running clothes + Sparkly Fit Flops = how I dress up....lol.

A hot and sunny six deserves some serious slices as a reward, right? ;)

This pizza made for great long run fuel for my big 2-0-!

That's right: 20 miles....gulp! I don't think I've ever been so nervous to run that distance. I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to finish today from either A) something hurting or B) the heat.

It sure was a tough run today. I kept my pace between 8:20ish and 8:35ish for an average of 8:30/mile. I ran every single mile on the road today and not the trail. I know...be amazed. I felt really good actually....until it got hot.

The 103 Highway. Wow, look how not-busy it is early on a Sunday morning!

The last time I ran on this little path I almost killed myself on the slush and ice...lol.

2 GUs, 4 fuel bottles of nuun and Gatorade and a wack load of Honey Stinger chews later and I was at 19.3 miles. I actually stopped and was going to walk home since I was so hot....lol. That was until I called myself a wimp and started chugging along again.

2 hrs 50 min later: Bango! Done! And I wanted to fill the bath tub with Gatorade and drink it all up! But I settled for a protein shake and a nuun water.

I recognize mile 1;) I would have loved to tag along for a few miles this morning, but I haven't been able to get out at all the past few days...driving me crazy. Anyway, I am stepping out for a longish run tomorrow night! Great job on your 20 miler!

Summer marathon training is such a pain with 20 milers in the heat and sun but after this winter, I'm just happy to be spending time in my shorts and outdoors so I'm not complaining (yet...I will complain in July). Love the tacos! I need another taco night soon.

That's an amazing 20 miles :) You little Lola is so cute! I loved the picture run Meg put up and I loved yours too! Just think if you tried to photo pictorial your 20 mile run lol I am curious to see everyone's routes. A lot if I am just running in my neighborhood, maybe I need to try this one day :)

You know, I could have sworn that I had posted on this blog but I don't see anything. What is going on with me? I was on someone else's blog and accidentally posted on theirs TWICE thinking my post didn't go through! Anyways I love the mile by mile idea, I kind of wanted to steal it from Meg too but just started taking more pictures on my runs because my mileage isn't THAT HIGH (like 12 or 20 miles high) yet so it would only be like four or five photos. Soon, though, I will be up there! :-)

Boston you beast, you've broken my heart yet again and I keep coming back for more. I did it, my 5th Boston Marathon and with each p...

For obvious reasons....and for those who don't know me well.......I'd like to state that I am not a licensed nutritionist, coach, elite athlete, physiotherapist, sports doctor, etc. I am just sharing my knowledge and passion for running by showing what has worked, and is currently working for me. :)Heather
